Stories of seven Old Boys who served in WWI

With Remembrance Day taking place this week, it’s an appropriate time to look back at a bit of a mystery involving seven Old Boys who served in the First World War and Upper Canada College’s commemorative memorial plaque.

Four Old Boys listed on UCC’s First World War memorial plaque don’t have biographies in the school’s First World War memorial volume, The Roll of Service 1914-1919, which was published in 1923. Meanwhile, three Old Boys included in the Roll of Service aren’t included on the memorial plaque.
